Ouch

Yeah, I haven't been here in couple days.  Seems a bug has decided to 'bug' me.  Sat. I was hit with a sore throat, ear aches and chills.  It just wasn't right to be sitting around with a blanket on when it was 80 outside.  Went to set in the sun and  a cloud decided it was cover it up time.  Just couldn't win.  Feeling better today, though the throat still is scratchy and I can feel the gland on one side is swollen quite a bit and a tiny one on the other side.   I have my lozenges, the ears feel much better and the chills are gone so I'm on the mend.

Wouldn't you know it.  Yesterday out fire dept. had a dedication ceremony for 9-11 with a 500 lb piece of one of the towers.  Tons of people, and Jack said it was very impressive. I didn't go of course.  Didn't want to spread whatever it was I had.  Back to the wouldn't you know it.  Jack forgot his camera.  He was in such a hurry to get there he walked out without it.  When he called to tell me he said he couldn't even get out to come back and get as the car was alread blocked in, and no one was up to take it to him. 
This is from a phone picture one of the people put on fb.

  1. I sure do hate that you are feleing bad but thank goodness you're on the mend. I have had something similar strike about every 2 years. It happens in March or October...no idea why those two months seem to be ideal to catch the bug.

    Hope it's better each day and I sure feel for Jack. The rare times I forget my camera, I feel as though I am lost. Get better GF.

  5. My Mom had the exact same symptoms yesterday. I'm sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. That amazing that they had a piece of the twin towers. I think all of us as Americans feel those things from that day tug at our heart strings. Bless you today my friend.

  6. Well at least you're on the mend.
    We too had a 9/11 ceremony in Boston. No artifacts though but, a new memorial on the Boston Public Garden's. It was a somber day yesterday here as well.

  7. So happy to hear you are starting to feel better. Nothing worse than being sick in the summer. That we should save for winter when we want to be snuggled in the house. GB had a 9/11 ceremony also, but sad to say, I didn't go. Was just so tired out yesterday I didn't want to move!! (Get ready for the cold front that's coming thru tonight - brrrr).
